Top 10 Benefits of Compression Wear During Exercise

“She’s trying to kill me, isn’t she?” Jake huffed over the whirr of the treadmill. “She’s still getting back at me for the whole lying-about-my-POTS thing.”

Of course, it also could’ve been the weekly inspection she’d suffered this morning. Chad really brought his special brand of little dick energy to those impromptu visits. The power play had to be the only reason he still did them. After Rayah had made him work with Grace one afternoon to sift through the appropriate paperwork, he’d huffed and puffed for about an hour, then declared their work impeccable on that end. Every visit, Rayah kept Jake glued to her side from the moment Chad walked in to the moment Jake went to bed (where he slept with one eye open).

“Rayah doesn’t play games.” Samuel hit the button to increase incline until it reached 3 percent. After living with her for five weeks, Jake knew Samuel was right, and yet, there she was, hip thrusting his body weight like it was a warm-up.

Fuck me. It’s probably a warm-up.

Things were about to get awkward. He couldn’t even think about diet food to calm Jake junior anymore. Rayah had spent every evening of the first week after Vicky’s arrival trying to teach Jake to cook. Vicky hung around the first couple of nights, but whether from boredom or lack of interest in watching him watch Rayah move around her kitchen, Vicky had thrown herself into helping around Explosion and rarely returned to the cabin before midnight.

As it turned out, Jake could burn water, but Rayah made even gross stuff taste amazing. (Except edamame. Satan’s green beans were nasty no matter who cooked them.) The second week she’d tried to teach him how to balance macronutrients. He hadn’t been able to follow along, but he loved to listen to her talk. And that was the only time she spoke to him those first couple of weeks. By week three, she’d given up on teaching him things, but she’d also given up on her grudge. That was when life in the cabin became unbearable.

He and Rayah switched to sitting on the couch together in the evenings, talking, snacking on popcorn one speck of butter shy of being Styrofoam, and binge-watching TV shows and movies. Once or twice, she’d allowed herself to tell him things that mattered, but she was usually careful to keep the conversations from digging too deep. As for the movies, they took turns picking. Last night she’d chosen the old Drew Barrymore classic, Ever After, then laughed when he knew every line. Tonight, he was thinking 50 First Dates. It’d keep to the theme and he’d get to watch her laugh again.

Rayah bent over to add more weight to the bar she was using, and Jake grew desperate for a distraction. Then he saw it, salvation and hell wrapped in one wrinkled old package.

“Doc’s at it again.” Jake motioned with his chin to where Dr. Martin lay
